Our holistic curriculum includes not only rigorous academics, but also essential life and leadership skills.

In the high school, the academic focus is on preparation for college and beyond, with a challenging curriculum and ample opportunities to develop leadership skills that will serve students throughout their lives. All students are offered extensive college counseling services and 99 percent of EC High School program students matriculate to a four-year college program (2023).
The program includes a seven-class academic schedule with additional, optional classes offered outside of the regular school day. Students may also choose to expand their learning through electives including AP, honors and UW in the High School (UWHS) courses, or in areas of personal interest, such as the arts, computer science, robotics, marketing, accounting, journalism and more.
